Do not offer the child the content of the mind, but the order for that content.

There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature.

It is not enough for the teacher to love the child. She must first love and understand the universe. She must prepare herself, and truly work at it.

The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination.

The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities.

Education should no longer be most imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.

The activity of the child has always been looked upon as an expression of his vitality.
